TWO STUDENTS CHARGED AFTER HIGH SCHOOL SCUFFLE

NIAGARA FALLS -- Two students have been charged with criminal mischief for doing more than $300 damage during a fight in the Niagara Falls High School art room, Officer Neil Stenzel said Wednesday.

Mark L. Robinson, 16, of Eighth Street, and Robert J. Blevins, 17, of 24th Street, are accused of breaking a chair, damaging a wall and destroying six pieces of student art, Stenzel said.

The fight broke out late Tuesday afternoon when Robinson starting teasing Blevins, who threw a piece of paper at a wastebasket and missed. One punched the other, a scuffle ensued, and a chair was swung about, causing the damage, Stenzel said.

Suspect, seen in court with stolen coat, arrested

NIAGARA FALLS -- A man accused of the Dec. 29 gunpoint robbery of a new coat from a teenage boy was arrested Tuesday when the suspect was found wearing the evidence in City Court.

Detective Patricia McCune said Omar A. Feggins, 18, of 15th Street, was charged with second-degree robbery and criminal possession of stolen property when the victim's stepfather saw him in court wearing his son's blue coat and called detectives.

Feggins, along with another suspect, is accused of mugging a 15-year-old North End resident at 13th Street and Pierce Avenue while the boy was walking home in the coat he had just received for his birthday, McCune said.
